I think you might need to be need to be more specific in your font
settings to get xterm to display unicode.  Since you like 9x15 bold,
you could try the following, which I got from the list of
unicode-compatible fonts at <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html>

XTerm*font: -Misc-Fixed-Bold-R-Normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-ISO10646-1

You could probably try this out without having to edit your
.Xresources, using an appropriate command-line option to xterm.
